⛰️Angrboða Devotional Tips⛰️
Angrboða is a jötunn and the mate of Loki, mother to the wolf Fenrir, the World Serpent t Jörmungand, and the Queen of the Dead Hel. The name Angrboða has been translated as "the one who brings grief" or "she-who-offers-sorrow".
There's not much known about her otherwise so I'll share my impression of working with her but this isn't historically supported by any means. I often feel as though Angrboða is a mother-figure, not in a tender or nurturing way, but in terms of support, motivation, and advice. She is a strong, passionate figure, violent if needed to protect those she loves and cares for. She takes special care to those of us who are "different", who are left unsupported and alone for whatever reason it may be. She is a guide to us, reminds us to be strong inside and never give up. These are my personal associations and devotions with Angrboða, please keep any hateful comments to yourself.
Try to see things from a new perspective.
Donate or support local wildlife preservations, especially wolves!
Read the few works she's mentioned in, Hyndluljóð and Gylfaginning.
Use the colors dark green, black, brown, dark red, or russet in your altar, clothing, however you want to incorporate it!
Speak up for what you believe in.
Use crystals like bloodstone, tourmaline, rutile, scepter quartz, purpurite, flint, and goethite in your craft or altar.
On an altar you could leave items of iron or wood, thistles, oak branches, flint or fire tools, images or figures of wolves.
Challenge yourself, whether it's starting a new endeavor you've wanted to try, working on yourself, or working on an old craft.
Listen to music that inspires you and reminds you of her(Danheim - Ulfhednar is a personal favorite).
Dedicate time to your community, whether it's donating old clothes, helping the food drive, working with lgbt+ youth, anything to help.
Practice connecting with the Earth, go on hikes, enjoy time outside.
Try your hand at spirit work and if you're already a hedge worker then dedicate some of your time to her while practicing.
Light candles or incense of oak, oud, dragon's blood, yarrow, oat, or apple.
When you're feeling bleak or apathetic, dedicate the courage and time it takes to pull yourself out of it to her.
Use the runes Kaunaz, Hagalaz, and Isa in your craft or worship.
Learn about your strongest desires and then create the structure and self-discipline with Angrboða's guidance to attain them.
